Dragon Well 2nd Grade from Ten Ren Tea
Style: Dragon Well (Long Jing) – Region: Zhejiang, China47 / 100 Aroma: 4/10 Flavor: 2/5 Value: 3/5
Jun. 28th, 2011
I got this tea for a general idea of the relative quality of Ten Ren's Longjings, without much investment.
You can get a lot of loose Longjing here for not much money at all. The downside is that the quality isn't so great. Many leaves are broken, other leaves are bent, etc. For most people, I would recommend much h...
China Green Tea from Foojoy
Style: Green Tea – Region: China60 / 100 Aroma: 5/10 Flavor: 2/5 Value: 5/5

This tea has a mild and slightly vegetal aroma. The taste is mild, smooth, and slightly sweet. The tea brews to a light greenish / golden color. Overall, this is a mild but nice green tea.
Originally I wrote a pretty scathing review of this tea, most of which I have removed. Taken for what it is, this is a mild and ...

The flavor of this tea is a bit vegetal similar to its...
Lungching Green Tea from Foojoy
Style: Dragon Well (Long Jing) – Region: China80 / 100 Aroma: 7/10 Flavor: 4/5 Value: 5/5

When seeing the price and packaging of these Foojoy teas, my initial impression was that they must be low quality at such a price point. Like my experience with Tenren, this initial impression has turned out to be wrong.
This Longjing is a fine representative of the style in a teabag. The tea brews to a golden color...
China Green Tips Filterbag from Tazo Tea
Style: Mao Feng Green Tea – Region: Zhejiang, China73 / 100 Aroma: 6/10 Flavor: 4/5 Value: 4/5
May. 16th, 2011
The following review is of China Green Tips in a normal tea bag, as opposed to the whole-leaf satchet version.
True to its name, the aroma and the flavor of China Green Tips are indeed similar to the vegetal and fresh qualities of a Zhejiang green tea made from small and vibrant leaves. Apart from its basic characte...
